The New Yorker Cartoonists A - Z

What follows is a work in progress -- it doesn't pretend to be a complete list of The New Yorker's cartoonists. A complete list is likely impossible as The New Yorker itself has not been able to identify a number of early contributors.

Eventually, each name will carry some additional information. In this early stage, I'll begin to supply bare-bones biographical information, indicating when a cartoonist began contributing to the magazine (and, when it applies, when their contributions came to an end). Additions, corrections, advice always welcome.

Sources:

For dates of when a cartoonist began ( and where it applies, ceased ) contributing to The New Yorker, I've cross checked dates using the discs accompanying The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker , the discs accompanying The Complete New Yorker, The search feature on the Cartoonbank.com's site, and where applicable, obituaries, usually in The New York Times.In some cases, the cartoonists themselves have supplied the date. The New Yorker's library has also supplied information, and/or confirmation.

For biographical information: In many cases the cartoonists themselves have supplied this information to me. Other sources include obituaries in The New York Times ( and elsewhere), and numerous cartoon anthologies which contain biographical information. Among the most helpful: Colliers Collects Its Wits (Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1941), Meet The Artist (M.H. deYoung Memorial Museum, 1943) The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons (Chelsea House, 1980), The Best Cartoons of The Year 1943, Crown Publishers, 1943), The National Cartoonists Society Album 1996 ( NCS, 1996). I've also relied on biographical information from individual websites operated by cartoonists. As above, The New Yorker's library has in some cases supplied, and/or confirmed information.

Membership is limited to cartoonists whose work has not appeared in the magazine in 30 or more years.

According to Barlow's obit in The New York Times (Dec. 27, 1977) William Shawn called him "one of the gentlest and most humane of all comic artists...he was also one of our three or four most prolific people." In the same piece, James Geraghty (The New Yorker's Art editor from 1939 thru 1973) said "he often tried to interest Mr. Barlow in publishing a book of his drawings 'but he was halfhearted about it.'" Mr. Barlow's wife, Dorothy Hope Smith, played a role in his work: she colored-in his covers because her husband was partly color blind.

His deceptively simple line drawings of pups and kings, and businessmen have been a presence in The New Yorker for over fifty years. It is likely that Mr. Barsotti is the only New Yorker cartoonist to have ever run for Congress (an unsuccessful bid, in 1972, in Kansas). NYer work: 1962 - .

In Geraghty's NYTs obit (Jan 20, 1983), William Shawn said: "Along with Harold Ross, who was the first editor of the magazine, Geraghty set the magazine's comic art on its course and he helped determine the direction in which the comic art would go and is still going."

He worked briefly at The Chicago Sun before joining the New Yorker where he began contributing to Notes & Comment (his first contribution was in the issue of January 16, 1943), as well as fiction. In the April 22, 1944 issue, he contributed a cartoon (run full page) -- his only cartoon to appear in the magazine. During his last twenty years at the magazine, his contributions were mostly covers - nineteen of them appeared between 1964 and 1985. His distinctive spot drawings also appeared in the magazine for many years. Seemingly foreshadowing his run of covers, he told a reporter from the Wilton (Connecticut) Bulletin in 1961 that "I've been trying -- and succeeding -- in enlarging the spot drawings. Now I'm doing bigger ones and getting away with it."

Mr. Hubbell holds a unique position as the only temporary Art Editor in The New Yorker's history, filling in for James Geraghty, the magazine's Art Editor from 1939 thru 1973. Hubbell held the temporary position for the first four months of 1943 while Geraghty was away participating in classes for the Volunteer Officer Corps.

It's not difficult to imagine Mr. Hubbell was thinking of his own work when he wrote the following in his introduction to William Steig's 1990 collection, Our Miserable Life:

"...graphic art is best dealt with on its own terms -- lines and hatchings and smears and smudges put down on paper to convey a thought about something, or just to create a drawing, like Steig's of a rainy day, for its own sweet sake."

According to Maurice Horn's World Encyclopedia of Cartoons (Chelsea House Publishers, 1980), Beginning in 1910, while working at the New York Tribune, Robinson "exerted more influence on his profession than almost any other cartoonist over the years.

Note: this collection contains essays by Rose on cartoon themes. Especially of interest is his essay concerning Harold Ross, "An Artist's Best Friend is His Editor".

White for the December 8, 1928 New Yorker cartoon of the mother saying to her child, "It's broccoli, dear." and the child responding, "I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it." The drawing was by Rose, the caption by White. Rose also had a Thurber connection. In 1932, Rose submitted a drawing captioned, "Touche!" of two fencers, one of whom has just cut off the head of the other. Harold Ross ( according to Thurber in The Years With Ross) thinking the Rose version "too bloody" suggested Thurber do the drawing because "Thurber's people have no blood. You can put their heads back on and they're as good as new." The drawing appeared December 3, 1932.

After receiving his art education at Parsons School of Design, he was a free-lance advertising illustrator for many years. Appearing in The New Yorker since 1974, he was a contract cartoonist there. His cartoons have been reprinted in books and periodicals worldwide and are also in many private collections. His other endeavors included teaching the figure, life drawing, portrait sketching, oil painting and water colors. These have also been privately collected. He lived ( with his wife, Rhoda, a retired librarian) in Whitestone, New York with a winter residence in West Palm Beach, Florida. His three grown daughters are a graphic designer, a computer technician, and a charter school principal. NYer work: 1974 - 2002. ( place and date of birth from NYTs obit, May 18, 2010)

Ink Spill is pleased and grateful to be able to share Mark McGinness's piece on Bernie Schoenbaum, reproduced by special permission from The Times of London, where it originally appeared October 6, 2010:

For almost 30 years Bernard Schoenbaum’s work graced the pages of The New Yorker. What amused and sometimes discomfited his readers was a reflection of their own attitudes, ambitions, prejudices and conceits.

His subjects, or perhaps more accurately his targets, were drawn from the liberal East Coast and yet the traits he exposed — prosperous, knowing, ruthless, ironic, combative, crestfallen and cute — are universal ones. Schoenbaum and his contemporaries, Frank Modell, James Stevenson, Robert Weber and Lee Lorenz, were attuned to every nuance and quirk.

Born in Manhattan in 1920, Bernard was the elder son of Russian-Jewish émigrés. His younger brother Sam was a distinguished Shakespearean scholar. He was educated in the Bronx and at the Parsons School of Design, New York. Much of his career was as a freelance advertising illustrator but when his wife took a job as a librarian he was able to devote himself to cartooning. His other endeavours included teaching the figure, life drawing, portrait sketching, oil painting and watercolours. He also worked as a portraitist on cruise ships.

He contributed his first drawing (as The New Yorker preferred to call them) in 1974, when the celebrated William Shawn was still editor, and Lee Lorenz the arts editor. He was to contribute 463 cartoons to the magazine. He also contributed to Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal.

Some of his earliest drawings and a sprinkling of all his work were captionless. His approach was literal while his style was a soft, fluid line and wash. He captured a northeastern knowingness; a world of men in tweed sports jackets, soft plaid hats and bad haircuts such that the reader would be taken in immediately and ready to laugh even before coming to the caption.

His cartoons embraced the world of parties and romance, commerce and employment, parents and children. The children were so worldly: a young boy says to his father who is reading his son’s school report, “It’s just a correction. The fundamentals are still good”; a little girl in bed talking to her father who has read her a fairytale, “It sounds a little too perfect. What’s the downside?”; while another little girl says to her mother as they confront each other over a broken biscuit jar in the kitchen “Circumstantial. You haven’t proved linkage.”

Schoenbaum was as sharp in the office — an executive to others meeting around a table: “To pacify our shareholders, it’s been suggested that one of us goes to jail.” One businessman to another in a plush office says: “I’ll level with you, Charlie. I’m going to let money get in the way of our friendship.” A suited man at his desk on the phone says: “Joyce, I’m so madly in love with you I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t live without you. But that’s not why I called.”

And the enduring issue of matrimony — a woman to a man at a smart restaurant: “Is this a real proposal, or are you off your medication?”; and a man to a woman as he proposes to her in a restaurant: “Say yes. I need a win.”

His last cartoon, published in 2002, rather fittingly depicted two angels in Heaven; one saying to the other: “At least there’s one place that’s not youth-oriented.”

As The New Yorker’s current cartoon editor, Bob Mankoff, observed: “He was a sweet and gentle man. His humour did not look down on people, just a bit sideways.”

Schoenbaum is survived by his wife, Rhoda (whom he married in 1948) and their three daughters.

George Shellhase ( Self portrait above. Source: Best Cartoons of the Year 1943) Born, Philadelphia, 1885; Lived for many years in Greenwich, Connecticut. Died, age 93, in a nursing home, Ocean Ridge, Florida, December 1988. NYer work: 1927 - 1940. His New York Times (Dec. 16, 1988) obit reads, in part: Shellhase "briefly attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and The Art Students League in New York. His affectionate and gently comic illustrations of American life appeared in publications like The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, The New Yorker and The New York Times."

Barbara Shermund Born, San Francisco. 1899. Studied at The California School of Fine Arts. Died, 1978, New Jersey. NYer work: June 13, 1925 thru September 16, 1944. 8 covers and 599 cartoons.

William Steig (photo above) Born in Brooklyn, NY, Nov. 14, 1907, died in Boston, Mass., Oct. 3, 2003. In a New Yorker career that lasted well over half a century and a publishing history that contains more than a cart load of books, both children's and otherwise, it's impossible to sum up Steig's influence here on Ink Spill. He was among the giants of the New Yorker cartoon world, along with James Thurber, Saul Steinberg, Charles Addams, Helen Hokinson and Peter Arno. Lee Lorenz's World of William Steig (Artisan, 1998) is an excellent way to begin exploring Steig's life and work. NYer work: 1930 -2003.

Avi Steinberg NYer work: December 17, 2012 -.

Saul Steinberg Born, June 15, 1914, Ramnic-Sarat, Rumania. Died in 1999. NYer work: 1941 - (The New Yorker publishes his work posthumously)

NYer work: April 11, 1925 -- February 12, 1927.

James Stevenson Born, NYC, 1929. NYer work: March 10, 1956 -. Stevenson interned as an office boy at The New Yorker in the mid 1940s when he began supplying ideas for other NYer artists. Nine years later he was hired a full-time ideaman, given an office at the magazine and instructed not to tell anyone what he did. He eventually began publishing his own cartoons and covers as well as a ground-breaking Talk of the Town pieces (ground breaking in that the pieces were illustrated). His contributions to the magazine number over 2000. Key collections: Sorry Lady -- This Beach is Private! ( MacMillan, 1963), Let's Boogie ( Dodd, Mead, 1978). Stevenson has long been a children's book author, with roughly one hundred titles to his credit. He is a frequent contributor to the Op-Ed page of The New York Times, under the heading Lost and Found New York. Stevenson's recent book, published in 2013, The Life, Loves and Laughs of Frank Modell, is essential.

From Taylor's introduction: the "book is not intended to be a 'course in cartooning'...instead, it attempts to outline a plan of study -- something to be kept at the elbow to steer by."

Barney Tobey (photo above from Think Small, a book of humor produced by Volkswagon) Born in New York City, July, 18, 1906, died March 27, 1989, New York. NYer work: 1929 -1986.

Liam WalshBio courtesy of Mr. Walsh: I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin with lots of siblings and a pet crow. I fell under the spell of comic books and newspaper comic strips early on and I vividly remember coming across a collection of Charles Addams cartoons at my grandparents' house at about age 7 (I specifically remember being fascinated by, but not "getting", the famous drawing of the phantom skier.) In high school I was on the school newspaper and was the recipient of a number of State awards for editorial cartoons and editorial writing. I studied journalism at the UW Milwaukee, traveled broadly, and had my first cartoon published in the July 4, 2011 issue of The New Yorker after about 2 years, cumulatively, of submitting.
